didnt think he had won it , the setanta commentators didnt made out that he was winning either

iv watched it again and i think that he did win , hopkins was losing rounds by lack of punches

Thought the ref Cortez was shocking aswell. If you watched Hatton v Mayweather he deducted points in the 6th or something from Hatton for holding , all Hopkins did all night was hold on to Joe and use his head. Where was the point deduction there? Not the best fight on the eye but well done to Joe all the same, now do the same with Pavlik and prove everybody wrong.

i hate cortez so much after the hatton fight


he was breaking it up every time hatton worked the inside and let mayweather do what the fuck he wanted

I agree. When i first watched it, my judgement was clouded by beer and the knockdown, and I felt Hopkins won. I watched the fight again there and had Calzaghe up by a few rounds. He was the aggressor in the fight and threw more punches which landed. Hopkins was a cheat with his holding and head-butting. He was also trying to twist Calzaghe's arm in the closing rounds, possibly to try and break it. a very dirty, negative fighter. Glad Joe won. He deserved it on reflection.
